MAINTENANCE

IROKO / H.O.T.WOOD
Iroko wood and
requires little or no maintenance.
However, we strongly advise you to
remove persistent dirt. To clean the
wood you can use special products
(www.rmc-extremis.be) or simply a
stiff bristle brush and some water.
Be careful not to irreparably damage
the wood fibres. For this reason,
never use a high pressure cleaner as
this will roughen the wood's smooth
surface and irreparably damage the
wood's fibres.
At first, the wood will give off this
red dye every time it comes into
contact with water. The dye that
drips onto the frame and the surface
will remain water-soluble and will
dissapear entirely after a while.
We strongly recommend that you
treat your wood for indoor use
with wood oil to protect it from
stains.
When delivered, the wooden parts
of our products are untreated.
Exposure to sun and rain will
gradually change their colour to
silvery grey, and also roughen the
surface. If you want to somewhat
retain their original colour, you
should oil them once a year. We
recommend using RMC Hybrid
Wood Protector
extremis.com). RMC products for
wood treatment are available all
over the world. Visit the website

IMPORTANT!

Wood is a living matter and, in spite
of the superior quality provided by
Iroko and H.O.T.wood, outdoors it
constantly has to adapt to extreme
changes in temperature
humidity. Due to internal stress
resulting from these
adaptations the wood "warps". This
warping can among other things
lead to cracking. Changes in colour
or wood structure may also appear.
These characteristics are typical of
the material and by choosing this
material you accept them.
H.O.T.wood
Should any cracks appear, you can
simply sand them down either
by hand
by means of a hand sander. To
protect any galvanised or painted
parts, cover the edges with highly
robust masking tape. Use 80-grit
sandpaper and start at the vertical
side of the tabletop. Keep the hand
sander parallel to the edge of the
tabletop. Lightly sand the edge until
it is smooth again. Now sand the rest
of the tabletop. Make sure that you
always hold the hand sander parallel
to the tabletop. Do not only sand
the crack, but the entire tabletop to
obtain a uniform result. To avoid
burrs, sand the top edge of the
tabletop by hand. When you have
removed all the burrs, you can treat
the wood with hardwood furniture
oil or leave it untreated, depending
on the desired effect.
GALVANISED LEGS +
FRAME
Hot dip galvanisation is the most
durable way of protecting metal
against rusting. If the zinc coating
is damaged, the exposed metal can
rust. This can easily be touched up
(www.rmc-
with zinc paint that automatically
has the same colour and is readily
available in shops.
Galvanisation is a thermal process
that can slightly deform the material.
Other metal protection methods do
not have this disadvantage, but the
quality they offer is insufficient.
POWDER COATED LEGS

Clean with lukewarm water and a
mild detergent.

MAGIC SPONGE
Only use the Miraclean sponge when
normal cleaning with lukewarm
water, soft soap and a normal sponge
isn't sufficient!
If stubborn stains remain visible
after treatment according to the
instructions (see product manual),
you can use the MiraClean sponge
provided. Dip the sponge in water
and rub it over the stain. Do not
rub too hard with this sponge as
this might cause dull patches on a
surface.
There is no need to use cleaning
products. Water alone is sufficient.
This sponge is made of melamine
resin and wears away with use. The
sponge is very easy to use and gives
results up to 26 times more quickly
than a traditional microfibre cloth.
The magic sponge gets rid of most
stubborn stains without extra effort.
Never use this sponge on high-
gloss surfaces as it may cause dull
patches.
The magic sponge is the solution for
getting rid of stubborn stains such
as felt-tip pens, grease, scuff marks,
limescale marks or coffee and tea
stains. The magic sponge can be used
on tarpaulin fabric, plastic profiles,
glass, steel, chrome, aluminium,
porcelain, artificial leather and
many types of floor.
